- Hello Jeff
-
- Let us not forget that last week Highland J virus was
found in Rhode Island among bird population. As I mentioned on your show,
Highland J is a recombinant virus. It is an Alphavirus in the Togaviridae
family of viruses. It is a recombinant of highland J and eastern equine
encephalitis.
-
- Now, dead crows have been found in Rhode Isalnd and they
tested positive for West Nile.
-
- With all of the drastic spraying measures implemented,
West Nile is spreading rapidly. This weekend two more human victims tested
positive for West Nile. All three human victims live on Staten Island in
the City of New York.
-
- There is a serous question that must be considered regarding
spraying. Spraying does not kill all of the mosquitos. It kills only about
1/3 of adult mosquito population. Two thirds of the remaining mosquito
population that have been exposed to pesticide spray, yet, not of a quantity
large enough to kill them, will have their genetic material altered. Offspring
of those mutated mosquitos will, themselves, have their genes mutated.
Mosquitos altered in such a manner have been found to have malfunctioning
stomach linings. These are the mosquitos that will, now, be more predisposed
to pass on viruses to animal and human populations.
-
- My question to experts who have called for excessive
pesticide spraying is wil these mosquitos be able to pass on other viruses,
like aids, HCV, HBV as well. Thus far, pesticide spraying and larvacide
is not working. As you will read, the virus is spreading north and south,
east and west.

- WARWICK, R.I. (http://www.nandotimes.com) A two-mile
radius was slated to sprayed with insecticide after researchers found a
dead crow with West Nile virus - the first time the virus was detected
in Rhode Island, environmental officials said Monday.
-
- Four trucks will spray more than 200 miles of streets
in Warwick and Cranston starting Tuesday night at the earliest.
-
- State environmental officials said they expected to find
the virus in Rhode Island because it already has been detected in Connecticut
and Massachusetts. It has also been found this year in New Jersey and Maryland.
-
- No one in Rhode Island has been infected. Three New York
City residents contracted the illness this summer and have been recovering.
-
- The virus is commonly carried by bloodsucking mosquitoes,
which transmit the virus through bites. Infection may result in encephalitis,
an inflammation of the brain, or meningitis, an inflammation of the brain's
lining and the spinal cord.
-
- Last summer, during the first known appearance of the
West Nile virus in the Western Hemisphere, seven people died and 62 others
were infected in the New York metropolitan area.
